A weekly class shows up on every date it happens. In a list or cards layout, that can fill the page with the same event. Merge recurring events shows it once instead.
Turn it on
On the widget's Setup tab, open Events Filtering and turn on Merge recurring events. Click Save.
To let visitors see the other dates, turn on Show recurrence series on the Design tab, under Events. The event details then list the next dates in the series. See Google Calendar event fields: how each one shows on your website.
Which date the merged event shows
It depends on Limit displayed events, on the Design tab under Events › Number of events.
Limit displayed events | The merged event shows |
Show all events for selected month | Once per month, on its first date that month |
Show only upcoming events | Once, on its next upcoming date |
Show [number] upcoming events | Once in each set of events, on its next upcoming date |
Show current week events only | Once, on its first date that week |
Show only events within this time range | Once, on its first date in the range |
Example: a yoga class every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, starting Monday 2 November. On 3 November:
with Show all events for selected month, November shows it once, on Monday 2 November
with Show only upcoming events, it shows once, on Wednesday 4 November
